There will be a few playoff teams in the east figuring they will need to match Wilson in the playoffs. If Ferland gets that opportunity and holds his own, he'll get paid in the east.
In light of freidman's comments, maybe we can go big game fishing at the deadline, but we'll need to clear some cap space to do it. Or we overpay to have salary retained.
As I look at our roster, the most likely candidates to see moved from a cap perspective are:
Smith (but I can't see Smith being a willing participant to waive his limited nmc)
Stone (already on LTIR)
Neal (but I can't see us moving Neal until at least 1 playoff year).
So as I look at it, if this really is a buyer's market this year, perhaps this is a year to overpay player wise to get salary retained in the transaction.
